So far I haven't had any redpolls here on Roundtop this year. Two years ago, I think it was, I had 3 or 4 of them for a brief 10 minutes. i'm also jealous that they came to your sock feeder. For me, that thing was a waste of money. Neither goldfinches or house finches or anything interesting will go near it.

No redpolls at all here this winter. And I thought they headed further south when the winter was really bad. Also had given up on niger seed in my plastic finch feeder last year. Then tried those white socks this year. What a finch magnet. :)

Oh boy! I just love it when I go blog surfing, and find a really interesting one. Now, I have found a blog that I can read to help me identify the more uncommon birds in my area. Your wonderful pictures, and descriptions will be a big help.

But, sigh, with four cats, the birds around here will never come that close to the window.
